Students encounter sister schools with Mary Ward Connect

Mary Ward Connect 2023 demonstrated the strong friendship and sisterhood that exists between our Loreto Schools, with students exchanging places with students from Marryatville, Adelaide and Toorak, Melbourne.

A total of 16 Loreto Kirribilli students (two groups of eight) accompanied by two staff members travelled to Loreto Marryatville, Adelaide and Loreto Toorak, Melbourne. At the same time, we welcomed students and teachers from these schools.

Our Year 10 Loreto Kirribilli students who travelled to Toorak, Indie and Charlotte, shared the joy of their experience with us below:

“ This was a great experience where we were able to join the Loreto Toorak community, along with the Loreto Marryatville students, to make connections with like-minded girls who share the same values as us. We prepared a presentation which showcased our school and outlined what was special about our school. We shared this with Years 10-12 students and Years 5-7 students. There was a lot of discussion about the similarities and differences between the schools. Similarities included the blue uniform, the same crest on our blazers, the same Mary Ward statue in each school, the Houses, the community spirit and the values. We learnt a lot from this experience and we will bring back great memories, friendships and connections that we formed and ideas to further grow our wonderful school and prepare for the 150 year celebration.”
